Interesting, the irony of course being that without cats they would have never developed into agrarian societies.

no but the Aztecs and Incas did not have cats no Felis catus in pre-columbian America. Dogs on the other hand are nearly ubiquitous with human settlement.

Is this because the cats were able to ward of mice, rats etc?

Yes, they kept rodents out of grain, in fact i think this is how humans wound up domesticating them.
